The Maize Parent Teacher Organization works with the schools and district staff to enhance the quality of education for all Maize students. Unlike other PTOs, our focus remains on the overall well-being of the district and is not focused solely on one school.
PTO communicates with the staff through teacher representatives at each building, as well as using the Maize Messenger to interact with patrons. Maize PTO meets monthly, when school is in session, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the Maize Middle School library, 4600 N. Maize Rd. General PTO meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month unless otherwise noted on the district calendar.
